Unable to boot except in safe mode

I've looked through forums to find out if someone else had the same problem but I wasn't able to find one. =(
My computer gets to the windows login screen and the little ring showing me its loading shows up, but does not rotate as though it was actually loading. I can boot in safe mode and I have run Ccleaner, Avast! antivirus and checked for malware and spyware. Thorough scans found a few files here and there but my issue has not been resolved. Yesterday my computer was not coming out of standby after leaving it alone for long enough. This is a definite step in the wrong direction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Heeeelp!

I think whatever malicious file I picked up deleted all my system restore points as well because my computer makes new ones weekly every sunday and now I have NONE.

So I did that and ran a boot time scan which detected nothing. Ended up having to create a 3rd account as well because my system froze when tinkering on the 2nd one and when I had to force a reboot it started behaving the same way. No corrupted or malicious files detected after rerunning all my programs. Wouldnt even care about using this user instead but I'm concerned if I turn it off this one will die again. Any further advice?

Thanks by the way this is the biggest step in the right direction all day!
